What is the U19 Program?
Are you... a mountain biking fanatic?
Are you... under 19?
Are you... ready to ride and race hard and have fun?
If you answered yes to all three questions and still find yourself nodding, then we are the team
for you!
We are proud of our genesis as a junior racing team, and today we continue that heritage through our U19 program. The goal of Team Bulldog's U19 Program is to develop the next generation of mountain bike and cyclocross racers in New Jersey. We hope to impart on these racers our core beliefs in sportsmanship, camaraderie, and success through hard work, having, fun, dedication and giving it your best.
